Brand Purpose in a Schizophrenic Consumer World
Brand Purpose vs. Brand Hypocrisy: How Companies Can Truly Help the World
Many consumers say they do not want to support sweatshops, but they still often buy the cheapest clothing and running shoes made in such places anyway. Companies today want to do better, but they are getting such mixed signals from customers. In this inspiring keynote, Samuel Scott will show how companies can navigate this complex environment and both help the world and sell more products at the same time.
Media Planning in 2022 and Beyond: How to Integrate Online & Offline Marketing
We are seeing the tyranny of online direct response and short-termism, both of which are hurting our long-term advertising effectiveness. Samuel uses the latest research to show that we need to get out of our bubble and rethink our approach to media planning today by integrating traditional and online channels as well as long-term and short-term strategies in the most effective ways. (Example summary, video, full text and deck.)
Building a Brand is the Ultimate “Growth Hack” in B2B Marketing
In this fun and informational keynote that can include props, Samuel will discuss Brand 101, the benefits of a strong brand, product marketing versus brand marketing, examples of good B2C and B2B branding, how to build a brand, and how to manage and measure brand equity. After all, B2B marketing is more similar to B2C than people think. (Example information.)
